| contents | We propose a time crystal based on a quantum black-hole laser, where the genuinely spontaneous character of the symmetry breaking stems from the self-amplification of spontaneous Hawking radiation. The resulting Hawking time crystal (HTC) is characterized by the periodic dependence of the out-of-time density-density correlation function, while equal-time observables are time independent because they embody averages over different realizations with a random oscillation phase. The HTC provides a nonlinear periodic analog of the Andreev-Hawking effect, exhibiting anticorrelation bands resulting from the spontaneous, quantum emission of pairs of dispersive waves and solitons into the upstream and downstream regions. Remarkably, we prove that any parametric amplifier has associated a time operator, which leads to a unique characterization of the time-crystal formation in terms of two time operators: one associated with the initial black-hole laser and another associated with the final spontaneous Floquet state. |
